Brockholes Quarry - 23rd May 2009

Another evening down at Brockholes Quarry again, seems to be becoming our local patch at the moment and not a bad patch either.Only watched the main pool tonight, we spent most of it chatting with Mike.Reece got a few good sightings the first being a male Hen Harrier that flew east over main pool. The other was a Buzzard (or was that a Kestrel Reece?) hugging the thermals over the A59.Showing on the main pool this time was the Common Sandpiper we saw for the first time the night before last, along with 2 Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin, 5 Oystercatcher, 2 female Teal and 3 Gadwall.
